At least still still sounds good. Go google Frank Valli

I’m sure that an evening with Bruce Springsteen is thrilling these days. An opportunity to lecture you on how you should hate America and the Orange Man read to you from a teleprompter.

Im so old now, that pic is a legit WYHI

A graying old blues singer can sit in his chair, emoting his downbeat lyrics and still look great. An old country duffer strumming his guitar and twanging a tune can similarly be great. An old-time jazz guy like Pete Fountain can noodle out an improv solo and still look great.

But, holy smokes, rock-n-rollers performing into late middle-age and then senior years look absolutely clown-level ridiculous. Maybe they can get away with ballads, but all that goofball hopping around and performance art? Forget it. Unbearable.
